2 Samuel 7:2-7
New International Version
2 he said to Nathan(A) the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house(B) of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”(C)
3 Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind,(D) go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.”
4 But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:
5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you(E) the one to build me a house to dwell in?(F) 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day.(G) I have been moving from place to place with a tent(H) as my dwelling.(I) 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites,(J) did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd(K) my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house(L) of cedar?(M)”’
